Help Section for all tasks

This page links up to other resources and help on which types of software would be best to create these documents.  Click on the burger links to access examples of the tasks – but
remember you must create your own designs and documents and use your own images.  Most of the documents can be created using Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint,
Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Excel, however to show better knowledge and skills and differentiation of higher learning you should use the Macromedia Fireworks software
and instead of  the Microsoft Office suite.  Below is a link to the menu which you will need to see to complete the spreadsheet details and further information on how to use the
spreadsheet formula functions.  The spreadsheet formulas must be read in order to complete the whole financial spreadsheet.  All of the tasks pages have instructions on how to
complete the tasks but this page is just in addition to them. 

Task 1 Help - It is best to use Macromedia Fireworks to create a logo and below are some instructions but can be made on a software you are good with.

• Make your canvas transparent and the size can be 500 width, 500 height and 100 resolution.
• Create a circle (elipse) to attach your text around from the shapes in the VECTOR section from the tools bar on the left.
• Use the A to write the text for the name of the shop and logo details
• Highlight the circle and the text using the left button on the mouse and then select TEXT from the top menu bar then ATTACH TO PATH.
• You may use an image from the internet which is relevant like a healthy food image
• Now you may insert or cut and paste a suitable picture for the logo in the centre of the attached logo and group it all using the right button and then group.
• You can also use the magic wand tool or the rubber tool to get rid of unnecessary colour or to edit the image

Task 2 Help – You can make this flyer on Word or Fireworks, just make it look professional and don’t use too many images, make sure that your logo is on it, it is
                           best to use fireworks to make it look professional and to fade out the images.  The canvas size should be 500 width, 650 height and 100 resolution. 
                           don’t forget to make a voucher with a special offer on it for the bottom of the flyer so that customers can use it to bring into the shop to use it and get
                           free food with it or a free drink or desert – it’s up to you.

Task 3 help – This memo must be made on Microsoft Word, the message is to be thought about carefully – remember it is going to be broadcasted live on the radio so
                          make sure that it sound good and catchy and that the special offer is going to make people come to your shop.  For bonus points you can record the
                          message onto your computer using a recording device or on a mobile phone and Bluetooth it to a teacher or other friends and listen to it to check if it
                          sounds good or not.  A memo is just like a written reminder so make it clear and check your spelling so everything is pronounced properly.

Task 4 help – This business card can be made on Publisher using the templates or using Macromedia Fireworks using the following dimensions: 300 width, 200 height and 72 resolution. 
                         Make this business card look as simple and professional as possible, remember all of these documents have to look good in black and white as well as colour.  Also make sure
                         that your logo is on it.

Task 5 help – This spreadsheet is the main task and will get you either a level 5 or 6 certificate depending on the how much help from the teacher you ask for – the less help you ask for the
                         more higher level certificate you will receive.  All of the formulas and instructions are below including screenshots of the insert functions menu.
Spreadsheet Formulas

• Firstly you must use the menu to find out the prices of the food items
• Now to make a formula for the Total before VAT - =Price per item X Quantity sold
• Now to make a formula for the 17.5% VAT -      =Total before VAT X 17.5%
• To find the total income -                                     = Total before VAT + 17.5% VAT     
• To calculate the expenditure simply multiply the item by the cost and use the AutoSum symbol to find the total.

• To find the Total Income at the bottom of the spreadsheet, highlight all of the totals and use the AutoSum to get the final Total Income

• To find the average – go to Insert at the top menu bar – FUNCTION – Look for Average, wait for the box and highlight the appropriate column and  then select Ok – this will find out the average for you.

• To find the Max number – go to Insert at the top menu bar – FUNCTION – Look for MAX, wait for the box and highlight the appropriate column and  then select Ok – this will find out the Maximum price of items sold for you.

• To calculate the profit/loss go to the financial forecast tab and then copy the total income and type the figure in the appropriate cell, then do the same for the expenditure and subtract the expenditure from the income – that is your profit or loss.  This now needs to be multiplied by 52 to find the annual forecast.

• Use the annual figure to then create the graph by using the chart wizard – a column graph type would be the best to show the annual predicted turnover.
